Tofino Hummingbird Cottage: Across from Chesterman Beach -"Serenity by the Sea"





House: (4 Guests, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths-Across from Chesterman Beach)



A minute's stroll from the sandy, wild expanse of north Chesterman Beach, discover one of Tofino's most unique, intentionally created cottages. Experience the serenity of the sea, sleep deeply to the rhythm of the tides, soothe away stress and rediscover yourself. Custom-designed by spa and wellness expert Vivienne O'Keeffe and ideal for self-directed retreats and restful escapes. The cottage is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized for each incoming guest.



The cottage lays serenely in a coastal marine landscape. Surrounded by cedar trees, visitors can relax on any of the three decks. The grounds of the cottage are ideal for meditation, listening to the distant thunder of the waves, the whisper of wind through the cedars and the joyful sound of birds.



Tofino Hummingbird Cottage is designed to tap into Tofino's unique healing energy. The 1,450 sq.ft. interior features the soothing palette of nature, works by Island artists and beautiful floors of recycled vinyl and sustainable cork, known for its warmth and ability to soften sound.



The living room features a cozy Norweigian JØTUL gas fireplace, sectional sofa and chairs custom-designed for style and comfort. In the kitchen, enjoy preparing and cooking your food on countertops of quartz Caesarstone and a gas stove with a true convection oven. Tofino's local shops allow plentiful access to fresh seafood, organic vegetables and artisanal foods.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Vivienne was a great host. The Hummingbird was a very quick stroll to the beach… great for surfing, watching the sunset and long walks. The kitchen was very well stocked and the beds super comfy. Outdoor shower was a bonus after a day surfing. Entire home was filled with thoughtful details and was very clean. Thank you Vivienne!
